Diagnostic performance and methodological concordance of the autologous sweat skin test for sweat allergy in a tropical setting: A pilot cross-sectional study
In tropical Thailand, ASwST identified sweat allergy in approximately 25% of CholU and AD patients, lower than many temperate-zone reports. Either injection volume is acceptable; however, 50 μL increases diagnostic yield without compromising specificity. Larger, multicenter studies should clarify whether ambient heat, humidity, or cutaneous microbiota modulate sweat-allergy.
